At the end of February, Uma Thurman’s rep confirmed her pregnancy by Arpad Busson, her longtime, on-and-off boyfriend. Busson is crazy rich and crazy connected, but Uma has never seemed like she was at his beck and call. Honestly, it never seemed like they were a couple destined to last. But still, there’s going to be a baby in the mix, and hopefully everything will turn out well. As many of you theorized, Uma seems to be the “reveal” in Lainey’s blind item about a woman who feared that her drug use at the beginning of the pregnancy would affect the child. Lainey made it sound like the woman was considering terminating the pregnancy, so I was surprised to see Uma roll out the news in every publication – everyone got a confirmation, and there’s no mention of any scandal. We’ll see. Anyway, Life & Style claims that Uma is having a girl:

It’s a girl! Life & Style can reveal exclusively that Uma Thurman’s two children (with ex Ethan Hawke), Levon, 10, and Maya, 13, are getting a little sister!

“Uma is having a baby girl,” a friend of the actress tells the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now.

Life & Style was the first to report that Uma is expecting her third child. “She’s happy and just a few months along right now,” the insider says. “She’s due in late summer.” A rep for the star later confirmed the happy news.

A friend of Uma’s tells Life & Style the father is her businessman boyfriend, Arpad Busson.

If it’s true, congrats. If it’s a boy, congrats on that too. Uma is probably just hoping and praying that the baby is healthy.

Uma also has a new interview with Stylist Magazine to promote her upcoming film, Bel Ami. That’s the one she did with Robert Pattinson. You can read the whole piece here – she seems very nice and down-to-earth, although not incredibly interesting. She does have kind words for Sparkles, though – “He’s very serious. He did a huge amount of rehearsal in his own time. I think that’s what you do as a young actor, when you take your work very seriously and want to take it to the next level…You know, when you’ve been doing this a really long time it’s hard to take it all so seriously. I said to him ‘Don’t get too upset about it because before you know it, Twilight will just be an old film that made you lucky enough to get another job.’ But when you’re in that position and you’re young, it’s hard to hear through the noise.” Basically, Uma was trying to get him to chill out.
